"Can someone tell me what would be causing a *slapping sound when I start 
out and turn*."
 That is why I thought it was a CV issue. When the outer one goes dry and 
you make a slow turn you will hear a loud ticking sound. It will go away 
when you drive straight since there is no weight on the joint and it is not 
flexing. Since you examined the drive lines and believe they are ok I would 
check brakes. Check pads and disks for wear and replace if needed. Might 
even unbolt the carriers, take the pads out and reinstall to make sure it 
was done right. My pads were making a noise during braking due to improper 
installation of the little retainer clip/shim things (I am blaming that on 
my assistant).

 You referring to control arm bushings since you said you replaced 4 of 
them? I do not know what sounds failed control arm bushings make but he 
should look at them and see if they are sloppy. Sounds like you have had 
that problem and your symptoms are close to his. My polyurethane ones cause 
lots of sounds:(
